I have just reach the hacienda. I crave you will forgive me for this intrusion, but I have ask the servant the way to your room for I feel that I must lose no time in carrying out the last wish of my grandfather. Senorita," he raised his voice, "I beg that you will do me the honor to become my wife." Rosita glanced fearfully toward the balcony, then turned demurely to Cisco. "I, too, have but one thought," she said, "to do the bidding of the good Don Fernando. I — " she hesitated, "I accept your offer," she said, holding out her hand. Cisco bowed low and kissed the extended hand. "You have made me happier than you will ever know, senorita," he said. "And now — buehos noches." AS soon as Cisco left the room Ricardo stormed in from the balcony. "So," he raged, "it was the mistress of the rancho you wanted to be — not the wife of Ricardo!" "No, Ricardo," Rosita cried. "You don't understand — " "I understand this," Ricardo shouted, advancing toward her. "I have said that no other man would ever have you — and no one ever will!" His hands were about her throat now, forcing her back over a small table which stood in the center of the room. As if by instinct her hand opened one of the table drawers, felt blindly for something hidden in it and pulled out — a small revolver. Ricardo spied the weapon and tried to wrest it from her but just as he gained possession of it there was a deafening explosion and he fell, grasping at his chest. Rosita, terrified, sped toward the door. She had nearly reached it, and the safety of the hall beyond, when Ricardo pulled himself upright and with the revolver clutched in a shaking hand, aimed at her. "Oh, don't, Ricardo — Ricardo!" But her scream was unheard above the sound of the gun. The Cisco Kid moved softly down the stairs and ran to Don Carlos. "Welcome to Rancho Santa Margarita," he cried. It was a somber little train that wound its way to the family burial ground behind the richly covered bodies of Ricardo and Rosita. There in the quiet shadow of the great Arizona rocks the simple 1 want to earn up to 199.00 In M week for my nmrf time.— ann 1 alno want to g.-l my Spring vrnrelr ■ .rf « penny con, rie»~ hush ih« wi, ...■■... 1. 1. ring IU4I Hlyle Presentation to mc UMOL1 lll» , Siring lot I Hlrle I 1 I Name I | VII..

"But not for long, Cisco," Don Carlos urged. "You are my friend and you will return often." "Yes, please, Cisco," Maria echoed. Cisco nodded, smiling gaily. "Always we shall return to visit the friends," he promised, then he swung into the saddle and went flashing down the wide treebordered driveway, Gordito at his heels. "They're good friends, Gordito," Cisco said. "We are very lucky — eh, maybe your little pink lizard bring us the luck after all!" When the riders were out of sight Maria turned to Don Carlos. "Cisco is a good man, Don Carlos," she said. "A brave man. He has done much for you — for the rancho— for — " She stopped in confusion, recalling the Cisco Kid's kiss. No one would ever know what he had done for her— that he had awakened in her the meaning of love but had gallantly refrained from asking her for the love which she might have given him. But Don Carlos' thoughts were no longer on Cisco. They were only for the girl at his side; for Maria, who had enchanted him the moment he entered the hacienda. "Maria," he said softly, "many things will I do because my grandfather wished it. But this I will do not only for him. but because my heart wishes it — my heart, which is trembling now, hoping that you will be — my wife." Maria lifted her eyes shyly. "I have hoped — " she began, but her words were cut short by a cry which echoed across the hills. Looking up, they saw, silhouetted on a precipice a full half-mile away, the figure of the Cisco Kid. "Don Carlos," he shouted. "Don't forget— " He threw his arms wide apart, then brought them together again in a pantomime embrace. Don Carlos laughed in memory and flung his own arms out, but when they came together Maria was inside them and her lips were on his. For a long moment they stood together, then drew apart to gaze toward the precipice. The Cisco Kid was no longer there, but the breeze brought back a song such as a gallant gentleman whistles when he has left one adventure behind and is riding in search of another.
